Hot Pick: Hallowqueen

The Triangle AIDS network is a great organization working toward a great cause — AIDS testing, awareness campaigns and help for local folks who are positive — but they also happen to throw some great parties.

And Hallowqueen is one of them. A drag show, DJ, cash bar, free food, costume contest, door prizes and a free drink when you walk in the door: We can dig that.

And don’t forget about the after party at the Orleans St. Pub and Patio.
